Re: My Story / Journal
Dr Eid had me use a soap twice a day starting a few days before the surgery. He also had me start the prescription antibiotic the day before surgery. There were some other instructions on what NOT to take in the week prior to surgery (ibuprofen, vitamins, etc). I assume they cause excess bleeding. Y...

Re: Question
Tone and context don't always come across via text. I reread Sirsarcastic's posts and it sounds like he is really struggling. We are here for you buddy. Donnie should also be allowed to express himself. Let's try to be supportive of each other. This should be a safe space for Donnie, Sirsarcastic, a...

Re: My Story / Journal
could you have made a 5+ hour return flight with car shuttles at both ends on day 3? Yes, but just know it will likely be a very painful, miserable experience. I would definitely ask for a wheelchair at the airport. Then again, some people have far less pain from this surgery than what I experi...

Re: Greg1956 Day 5 Post-Implant
I had to ask the doc where my reservoir was located, because I couldn't feel it at all. Everyone's body is different though. If your doctor isn't concerned, then I wouldn't worry. Maybe try to lay as long as possible in a position that will hold it there? That way scar tissue will build up around it...

Re: Question
Random question, how does your flaccid glans feel? Flaccid glans feels normal as the surgery doesn't impact the glans.
